Suggest Treatment For Weak Urine Stream
hi I am 76 yrs. old and have been experiencing a weak stream when I urinate. I t seems to come & go and has been happening every few days. I have been taking Imuran for Churg Strauss syndrome for 2 years, I have just had an exam by my doctor a few weeks ago and this has started afterward. i had a Turp 6 yrs. ago & my PSA was .6. I take 2 tablets of Flomax daily. What could be the cause?

Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
At your age and after a TURP,it's likely that you may've a prostate gland enlargement,or a urethral stricture.
This will need a check-up with an Urologist and do the following tests :
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine, creatinine,RBS,PSA,LFT and platelets.
3. Uroflowmetry test.
4. Ultrasound scan-KUB,with residual urine and a TRUS.
According to these reports,an expert opinion can be given.
